Call Your Sister
Call Your Sister is a podcast for related and unrelated sisters or CYS everywhere co-hosted by Alexandra Hodge and Astrid Ferguson. Every week, Alex and Astrid call each other to discuss the complexities of motherhood, sisterhood, identity struggles, dating as a single mother, sex and much more. We’re real Latinx sisters who are fiercely opinionated, and not afraid to realtalk each other about everything from (men)strual cycles and body shaming to the Platanos versus Yuccas debates and current identity life drama. We highlight women who are both trying to keep it together and got it all figured out. We also care deeply about the lived experiences of BIPOC and Lantinx women who are just trying to get through the week. We’re here for every facet of women’s humanity because we are a community, a nation of CYS everywhere.

DeSantis' Florida feat. Bestie Elizabeth
This week join little sis Alex and her Bestie Elizabeth as they discuss Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis. DeSantis has super conservative views on race, gender and education. Currently in Florida law HB 5 prohibits an abortion after an unborn child has reached 15 weeks of gestation however Desantis stated he would sign an abortion ban outlawing the procedure once cardiac activity is detected — around the sixth week of pregnancy if the house proposed bill. Pronouns no longer allowed in schools in Florida. Alex and Elizabeth discuss Florida House Bill 999 eliminating diversity programs in colleges and Florida House bill 543 allows gun owners to carry a concealed firearm without a state permit. Whew it's alot!
